Islam’s cultural jihad deserves scrutiny

Friday

The recent article “CCC library offers Islamic, Christian books” should have a subtitle: “Lesson One in Political Correctness”... or better still “Cultural Jihad.”

To the editor:

The recent article “CCC library offers Islamic, Christian books” should have a subtitle: “Lesson One in Political Correctness”... or better still “Cultural Jihad.”

The college president’s statement: “Understanding cultural nuances is really important ...help explore ideas… respect that our mission is to expand people’s minds and exposure…” is a perfect example of the academia elitists’ naďveté to accept Muslim propaganda under the guise of knowing more about each other so we can get along with each other.

The problem with that flawed academic drivel is that Islam does not want to exchange ideas and knowledge to get along and assimilate. Islam’s goal is to conquer in compliance with numerous dictates found throughout the pages of the Quran — especially that written after Muhammad moved from Mecca to Medina.

Indeed, students need to learn about Islam, but not only from Islamic scholars who write books loaded with distortions of history, taquiyya and abrogation but also from those who have experienced it and scholars who have studied it.

They should have access to books like: “Why We Left Islam” by 23 former Muslims and “Muhammad, Founder of the World’s Most Violent Religion” by Robert Spencer, one of America’s foremost authorities on the Quran.

Christian books obviously promote Christianity but do not expose the dangers of Islam. The following illustrates the Muslim trap — camouflaged cultural jihad.

Imam Zaid Shakir is an American-born Muslim, educated at Rutgers and American University, converted to Islam in 1977. He is now a scholar of Islam and considered to be the voice of the conscience of Muslims in America. He explains my point very well:

“Respect democracy insofar as it can be exploited to help the Brotherhood one day to assume power here. What a great victory it will be for Islam to have this country in the ranks of the Muslims. For now, Muslims must create a state within a state. I am a Muslim first and I hold Sharia Law before the Constitution of the United States…. Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant. The Quran should be the highest authority in the United States.”

Exploit democracy! Create a state within a state! Does that sound like they want to assimilate, to exchange knowledge and learn about our different cultures?

Jihad is Islamic lingo for “holy war,” and we see it in its bloody form in many parts of the world where Muslims dominate. Cultural jihad has the same objective as bloody jihad, which is to conquer. Unlike bloody jihad, cultural jihad is a gradual process and if you don’t see bloodshed, you don’t know it’s happening, but it is.

England, Belgium, Australia and the Netherlands are examples to lesser or greater degree. There are many areas of London that the Muslims have completely taken over and the police fear to enter. Sharia law has completely replaced English Common Law there.

The operatives of cultural jihad are just like termites. You don’t know they have been eating away at your house until it collapses.

An instance of local cultural Jihad occurred to me personally, two years ago. I tried to rent Joslyn Hall at Carteret Community College to produce a patriotic show which I have produced for 23 years on many stages in America and for which I received the George Washington Honor Medal from the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge in 1989 for “promoting Americanism and patriotism.”

I was denied the use of the theater because it contained scenes of the flaming World Trade Center and pictures of Muslims holding “Death to America” signs.

The reason for the denial: They didn’t want to hurt anybody’s feelings.

That, dear reader is cultural jihad and these books are aiding in that cause. Use some of that grant money and offer books that tell all sides of the Islamic story, not just what they want you to know. Otherwise, it’s a disservice to the students and taxpayers should demand it.
